Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer mis...sionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Colonel [John Charles] Fremont. Not a good picture, but will do to indicate my politics this year. For free States and against new... slave States.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I shall not be surprised if Colonel [John Charles] Fremont receives less than one hundred electoral votes. But, after all, the goo...d cause has made a great progress. Antislavery sentiment has been created and the people have been educated to a large extent. I did hope that this election would put an end to angry discussion upon this exciting topic by placing the general Government in the right position in regard to it and thereby securing to antislavery effort a foothold among those who have the evil in their midst. But further work is to be done and my sense of duty determines me to keep on in the path I have chosen ... to do what I can ... to aid in forming a public opinion on this subject which will "mitigate and finally eradicate the evil."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
